What does everyone look for when choosing the right coach for themselves or the right trainer for their horse?  What disqualifies a coach/trainer from your list?

Any harshness. A good coach needs to be a good communicator as well as a good horse person. I look for someone who would ask more questions about me (or the student) as opposed to describing their own achievements. Most of all, I look at the horses. If it's a happy barn of horses, it's usually a good spot!

I look at the horses.  If they look content, aware, interested and decently fed I will be interested.
Immediate negative--BEHIND THE BIT (training or riding), any signs of abuse,  students who abuse their horses without correction, and horses who are either underfed or overfed.

I agree with you 100 per cent, Jackie.
I also look at any student's who do the 'saddle dance' or have a busy bustling seat. It's a personal pet peeve.
